This Mephistopheles is super eye-catching and very vulgar. But in the last two minutes, everyone laughed together. It's not funny that foreign teachers say that pure love can save everything. In fact, I don't think he can stand it. The last few frames slide all over to the cliche of God's love for the...

Amazing opening. When faith and knowledge cannot save the world, can we use the power of the devil? After summoning the devil, is it possible to keep the inner purity? Can human beings overcome endless desires? The devil descends on the village and town, and the air is used to shoot the world. These two pictures were shot with the help of miniature models built on the set. Then the next hour was reduced to a love tragedy. The epic feeling that was originally created fell to the earth. It was...

Adapted from the first half of "Faust", the performance is very similar to the stage play, the characters' expressions and movements are exaggerated, the whole process relies on music to render the atmosphere, and the rhythm of the plot is very slow. Faust turned to Satan in order to save people from the plague. Faust, who was spurned by the people, prayed to be young, and then Satan helped him rob the Duchess at her wedding. The two fell in love, and soon Faust fell in love. De loves the new...

All good comes from expressionism, but it also ends in expressionism. The advantages of techniques are extreme, and they cannot cover up the deconstruction brought about by the factors of the times, which is concentrated in the emphasis on characters. #this...

visual feast. Although silent, the Wagnerian tragic soundtrack from beginning to end is powerful and moving, especially in the final part. Don't go too deep with Goethe, in order to show a conflict mode of classical drama on the screen, such an arrangement is understandable, and the effect is also amazing. In addition, the special effects in the movie are also very good. Although it is not real enough, the effect is very beautiful. Compared with Caligari 6 years ago, the technology has improved...

The confrontation between gods and demons at the beginning is probably the most vivid silent film special effects I have seen so far, and then Murnau continued to make perfect use of his magical expressionist light and shadow to create a depressing atmosphere. The orchestral version may also be the most suitable for the auxiliary of the film. The whole ending Part of it is just a preview for the subsequent "Sunrise", which is very emotional, and at the same time it is a sympathy and praise for...

9. The last big shot of expressionism. The dizzying superimposition, combined with some stopping and re-shooting, pushing the mirror, reversing and miniature models, expresses the magic moment in the fantasy world such as transformation and dream. The massive superimposition really laid the foundation for "Sunrise" the following year....

The devil gives youth, wealth, status, and women. God only teaches man "a word that echoes all over the world, a word with sorrow and sorrow, a word that dissolves all the sins of mankind, a word that is eternal."— - Unmeasurable...

[20190713 Tianshan Hongqiao 2013 Restoration Edition] Murnau's last German film, a masterpiece of expressionism. 1. The special effects technology is gorgeous, and the miniature model (the scene and composition of the movie where the devil opens his black robe and looks at the whole city with one hand is extremely shocking), superimposition, masking and multiple exposures and other technologies are used to perfection. 2. A feast of light and shadow: the eyes of the person Faust met after he...

2019-7-13 Rewatch; the sets, special effects, lighting, and scenes in the 1920s are not inferior to any blockbuster in the 21st century. It is admirable. Murnau's imagination, scheduling, and control capabilities are truly pioneers! The slanted glory in the church is like the manifestation of divinity. The heroine is gentle and soft. She is an angel who guides Faust out of his obstructed mind; the treaty of making a deal with the devil cannot match the radiance of true love. This eternal and imm
